It was around midnight when Lexa climbed out of bed. She walked out of her room and paced Sanctuary's cool floor. Too many thoughts ran through her head to let her sleep. So many things had happened earlier that day. She could have lost him.
Lexa stopped her pacing for a moment to look over at Jesse's closed door. The emotions that ran through her mind were to numerous to count, but the one that dwelt in her heart was stronger than any of them. She knew it was there and it scared her. It was an emotion that had long been buried and forgotten.
Walking over she lifted her hand to knock on his door but then let it drop. She turned away and sighed as she rubbed her tired eyes with her fingertips. Why did he make her feel like this? She started pacing again as she massaged her temples. Getting a sudden burst of courage Lexa went to Jesse's door again and knocked softly.
*LEXA! What on earth are you doing!?* Her mind screamed as she dropped her hand from the door. She hadn't been able to stop herself and now what? Now she would probably see him standing at the door in a few seconds and then what would she do.
As her thoughts continued time passed and she realized that he hadn't answered the door. Lexa creased her brow knowing that if he were awake he would have heard the knock. Her hand reached for the door knob and she turned it before silently opening the door.
*Lexa are you nuts!?* Her mind shouted at her, but she kept on into the room. She stopped and watched as his chest rose and fell with his steady breathing. Sighing she took a seat next to his bed and rested her chin in her hand as she watched him sleep.
"Ya know Jess, you really scared me today." She said in a soft low voice. "After Shal and I got out of Sanctuary in the Helix all I could think about was you. If you were gonna be ok, if we could get you out..." She paused and smiled to herself. "If I'd ever see you again."
She tapped her feet lightly against the floor. "My defenses and walls almost crumble when you walk into the room. Usually I would kill anyone who left me as defenseless and dependent as you do, but I find that with you I actually like it. I don't know why Jesse Kilmartin, but for some reason I find myself becoming more and more attracted to you every day."
Lexa sighed and stood. "It's a good thing you're asleep. I don't know what I'd do if you heard all that." She paused a minute and walked closer to the bed. "I don't know what I'd do without you Jess," She bent down and pressed a light kiss against his lips. "I love you," Smiling she walked out of the room closing the door behind her, to finally get some sleep in her own bed.
As he heard the door close his eyes slowly opened and a smile that had been contained the whole time crept across Jesse's face. In the emptiness of his room he whispered back, "I love you too, Lexa."
